Completely disappointed and embarrassed. He should have stuck with his game plan and peppered Fedor all night long. If AA continued scoring points by beating Fedor to the punch, it would force Fedor to take more risks and that's when AA could have capitalized. He was overzealous and left himself wide open for a straight right. I don't think that kick hurt Fedor at all, it just caused him to lose his balance and AA overreacted to it.
Saw the KO, brutal. Reports are that Arlovski was paid...$1,500,000 for those of you who can't count, that is a whopping $1.5 million. God damn. That is insane. Sylvia got paid $800,000. So, if the reports about AA's salary are true, Affliction has paid two fighters $2.3 million to not even last a round with Fedor. There is no way in hell Affliction is going to be on the + side of this PPV. I don't think they'll be lucky to see a 3rd show.
http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=8043&zoneid=13 I can't believe Fedor is so underpaid compared to the guys he has beat.
something tells me Fedor is getting a big piece of the PPV buys or it's under the table. something also tells me Fedor's management is robbing him blind.
Yeah, word is Fedor gets $300k base for his fight but gets a cut of everything which pushes his salary above $2-million. Good to see fighters getting paid but that payroll is a bit out of this world. Matt Lindland would've made $300k to win. Why in the world would you give Matt Lindland that kind of money?
some of these guys are getting paid 5 to 10 times what they made in other orgs adn the guys who made big bucks in other orgs are being paid at least double. it's irresponsible and stupid IMO.
Supposedly Oscar got $5-million to appear at the event last night and co-promote with Affliction instead of going to his Mosley/Margarito event. Holy shit.
